Financial Assistance from Rosemère for Two Cultural Events This Spring

April 16 2018

Rosemère, April 16, 2018 – The Town of Rosemère is pleased to announce
its financial contribution to two local cultural events to be held this spring:
the first edition of the White on White event and the Spring Art Exhibition,
both organized by Rosemère Artists Gathering (RAR).

The White on White event

Rosemère will act as a major partner of the
White on White event, contributing $10,000 to the first edition of this
unifying event, which will take place June 1-3 in front of the library and Des Pionniers
Park.

Here is a sneak preview of the wide range of
the programming, which will be unveiled next May and is bound to satisfy
everyone's tastes. Activities for youngsters and grown-ups, participatory
workshops, shows, exhibitions and a supper in white, with entertainment under a
big tent. Tickets are already on sale at the library for $20.

Spring Art Exhibition

In addition, the Town will allocate $1,000
for the Spring Art Exhibition, which will be held April 26-29 at Hamilton
House. About forty RAG artists will be on hand to present the public their most
recent works, created from materials and techniques that inspire them, such as
watercolour, painting, stained glass, pottery and sculpture.

"Culture builds our collective identity,
takes us off the beaten track, energizes and enriches our living environment.
It brings together residents of all origins and generations and gives them a
chance to socialize with one another.
That is why, in our activities, we favour a wealth of cultural
activities that are accessible and adapted to different tastes and ages, and
why we constantly strive to encourage local cultural vitality. And so we gladly
and confidently agreed to be a financial partner of these two spring events
held by Rosemère Artists Gathering. I therefore invite all Rosemerites to take part
in these two upcoming family cultural discovery events," stated Rosemère
Mayor Eric Westram.

RAG President Caroline Foley added: "We
are grateful to the Town of Rosemère,
which has supported us for a number of years and has so generously agreed to be
a financial partner in our two events this spring. And especially for the
confidence they have placed in us for the first edition of the White on White
event. Our objective for these events for the general public is to showcase the
talents and works of our local artists and to bring the artists who are members
of our Gathering closer to residents who share the same living
environment."
